Sunday, April 28
Oddly enough everyone’s horoscope is pretty much the same for this day. It doesn’t happen too often, but go have a food fight, take a shower, say “hi” to the Mayor and check out some great shows at Tycoons, Teatro and Luce’. Don’t miss Wolf Blood, the stars where very specific about that.
